Gamescom 2015 officially begins tomorrow, but Microsoft's Gamescom press conference was held today. For the most part it was a popamole-infested snoozefest, but there was also a new Dark Souls III trailer somewhere in there. Unlike the previous trailer from E3, this trailer includes a few snippets of gameplay.

​

Those who are acquainted with these things seem satisfied with what they're seeing here - a return to form with Miyazaki back at the helm. Apparently there's more than a hint of Bloodborne in the gameplay, too.

Repeat after me:

Souls series is not RPG. Souls series is not RPG. Souls series is not RPG.
Great action game with stats ? Yes. Although they are milking it hard, 5 games in 6 years, with no extensive improvements, sheesh.

That would be more impressive coming from a guy who didn't seem to have most of his post history in Witcher 3 and Kingdom Come threads

 

[Excidium II]

I still haven't got around to playing the first one

RPGs are only RPGs if the quests are spelled out in your map & journal and there are romances.

Videogames aren't RPGs, they're videogames

 

[Machocruz]

You play a role in every video game, so every game is rpg game.

Dark Souls is as good an RPG series as the Witcher.
Just look at those tits!

Now that's what I call +2 Tits of Mental Domination

It already looks so much better than DS2.
The MC movement in particular seems like a faster version of DS1 (or if you prefer a middle ground between DS1 and Bloodborne) and the creature design seems awesome.
I can't wait to play this shit.

RPG just stands for Rogues, Paladins and Goblins. I though everybody knew that by now.

The entire Might & Magic series isn't a RPG?

 

[DeepOcean]

What is an RPG?

You just described Witcher series... except drop the 'great' part.

 

[Excidium II]

All games have stats

The trailer looked shit. I care about the art direction and this seems to have lost most of the gothic simplicity of DS1. Hopefully the level design is good this time, no more empty endgame levels (or Heide's Tower of Flame). The colours also seem washed out or with some strange filter, nothing stands out. I also don't care for tons of breakable clutter around the levels aka Bloodborne. I think Miyazaki is spent by now.

Yeah, in Witcher 3 (and I assume KCD) 99% of my time isn't spent in combat, hence I consider those RPGs. Dark Souls and Diablo, nah

I also consider Vampire Bloodlines and Fallout 1/2/NV RPGs, those have a lot of combat too

..edgelord

 

[Rivmusique]

I spent no time in combat in the Sims. RPG GOAT?

lol wat?

w3 gameplay consists solely of shitty combat, press E detective mode and 11 fucking hours of cutscenes

an actual gameplay with players input in w3 is for 99% of your time combat (shitty one)

 

[Excidium II]

Breasts though

This is RPG Codex, so if a game appears here, it's a RPG.

Please, enlighten the novice by proving that Call of Duty isn't a RPG.
